Package: emacs

Severity: minor
doc/misc/modus-themes.org contains this:
This manual was built on {{{export-date}}}.
This makes the generated info file non-reproducible (different every build).
Please consider removing this information.

Question from the peanut gallery: are timestamp information really
verboten in reproducible builds? I was led to believe that the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH mechanism was introduced to allow programs to keep
embedding this information, while giving packagers the means to assert
reproducibility.
https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/
I am not well-versed on the subject of reproducible builds, so I
apologize if I am misunderstanding the state of things; also, since I
don't think the Emacs build system uses the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH mechanism,
I realize that this idea might be out of scope for this bug report…

That requires support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in each place a timestamp is
generated. For example, gcc does that for __DATE__ and __TIME__. If
org wants to keep the timestamp it should add support for
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
